Tupelo Blue 7'9 x 9'9 Rug

This rug is crafted from 100% European wool, a premium natural fiber prized for its exceptional durability and natural resilience. Wool fibers possess a unique "spring" that allows them to bounce back after being compressed by foot traffic or heavy furniture. Additionally, wool contains natural oils that make the fibers resistant to soil and staining, ensuring the rug maintains its beauty in high-traffic areas of the home.

Yes, because this rug is handmade with no secondary backing, we strongly recommend using a high-quality rug pad. A rug pad provides essential grip to prevent sliding, adds an extra layer of cushioning, and protects both the rug’s fibers and your hard flooring from wear. Using a pad also helps extend the lifespan of the rug by reducing friction between the floor and the wool weave.

The carved geometric pattern is a sophisticated design technique where the pile is hand-cut at different heights to create a three-dimensional effect. This adds a subtle layer of depth and visual interest to the contemporary design. Combined with the heathered blue ground, which features nuanced color variations, this texture provides a softly cushioned feel underfoot while helping to naturally hide minor footprints and everyday wear.

Often referred to as an 8x10 rug by designers, these dimensions are ideal for anchoring a standard living room or bedroom. In a living room, this size allows for the front legs of your sofa and chairs to sit comfortably on the rug, creating a unified seating area. For bedrooms, it fits perfectly under a Queen or King-sized bed frame, providing about two feet of soft, cushioned surface on either side of the bed.

To preserve the integrity of the handmade weave, we recommend vacuuming your rug regularly using a vacuum without a beater bar, or with the beater bar set to the highest "hard floor" setting. This prevents the rotating brush from pulling or fraying the delicate wool fibers. For spills, our care expertise suggests blotting immediately with a clean, dry white cloth; never rub, as this can push the liquid deeper into the medium-thick pile.
